Hills

All quiet on here. Everyone must be out riding their bikes.

Thought I'd share my hill profile, this is my commute home from work.

This is in the electric bike thread, so I think less calves of steel, more smug smile of contentment.

Fair point - I have wandered into unknown corners of the Forum.

It depends if there is enough charge left I guess!

Yes, the main reason I bought an eBike.

Now I cycle most days.

Don't need to pedal for the first mile or two on the way to work.

Reckon with a descent of a mile at the start of the commute you could just coast all the way in
It puts my commute to shame, 16.2 miles & 219ft of 'climbing'

My 14 mile commute is much the same, not sure exactly but Strava has it as a category 4 but Mrs Slick cycles to the bottom of it on her ebike to meet me and cycle the last 4 miles home together. I can't help casting an envious eye over her when I'm blowing out my ass and she looks as cool as a cucumber.

Did Mrs Slick join you for the last 4 miles before she got an eBike?

No chance. She loves that bike now though and uses it at every opportunity now. Probably the best thing we've bought in some time.
